Preface
Full-3D seismic waveform inversion (F3DWI) refers to inversions that seek to minimize the discrepancies between the observed and synthetic seismic waveforms, wiggle for wiggle, by solving the three-dimensional acoustic or (visco) elastic wave equations. Its development is important both for the theoretical foundations of modern quantitative seismology and for the practical applications of seismological methods in exploring the Earth’s interior. Driven by the rapid advances in high-performance computing technology and efficient numerical methods for solving 3
